fantastic !

Shaun is in Suffolk, Kevin is near Lowestoft, Martyn is near Lincoln, Barry near London. All have a number of carriers, then there is Me at Newcastle and Nige up North near Dundee. I am sure there are others but these guys are the ones who have made contact with me.

so plenty folks around on our rock to give a hand if its ever needed.

martyn is simultaneusly rebuilding two carriers together, both severe basket cases, one has been scratch built from a pile of wheels and track, so plenty of skill about to help especially if you ever have cause to fabricate anything.

John if you are on Facebook pm me your email as there are tonnes of pics there of the lads and they're carriers

Early re-cycling. Thanks Richie for your message, I hav"nt a clue what facebook is and I do not think I want to get into that. I prefer personal contact by phone and maybe email

Hi Richard, sounds like you need to give us all a facebook lesson!

The one I bought belonged to Bart Vanderveen.I think he wrote an article about finding it . In the second issue of Wheels and Tracks.I should add that I did buy a HUA in with other vehicles from Baptys, the info on the HUA came from Peter Dinely so maybe the one I bought was yours.Does the attched picture look like the one you used to own

Hmm...I've seen that shape before. What does HUA stand for? A friend wanted to sell me this truck but the steering wheel is on the wrong side. You can tell I'm new to this Phil

C8A HUA with registration 550 CPC belonged to Bart Vanderveen, who initially refurbished/restored it while he lived in England.
Via an unknown number of owners it ended up with Ian McCallum, who fully restored it.
It was then sold to Nick Bullock in 2003.

HTH,
